Our Vision for the Future of Higher Education

In January 2017, an amendment to the HE & Research Bill was proposed which would make it an
"offence to provide or advertise cheating services". This amendment was intended to target "essay
mills" - services which create work for students to submit directly to their institutions. UK
Essays is not an "essay mill" - UK Essays is a company with 14 years' experience - we know this
industry better than anyone else, and we know this industry's customers better than anyone else.

Much of the time, these customers are not 'dishonest cheaters': they are struggling students who
have been offered inadequate support from their universities when it comes to the very specific
skill of essay-writing. A huge proportion of our client base is made up of international students,
who contend with the additional hurdle of a language barrier in many cases. Our services enable
them to understand how their subject knowledge can be structured and organised in a suitably
academic way, and the essays we provide are a springboard from which our customers can develop
their own, 100% original piece of work.

Take a look at our website, gentlereformation.org, and you will see that we provide more study help,
completely free of charge, than can be found on any UK university's website. We have hundreds of
thousands of free essays, a plagiarism scanner, a free 'ask an expert' service, free essay marking,
and soon, we'll have entire courses of learning online for free. We are about far more than just
creating model essays: our ultimate goal is helping students learn.

Correct use of our service is no different to asking for a tutor's feedback, discussing work with
class mates or even using a model essay provided by a university - many tutors will distribute
examples of past students' work to demonstrate the best way to complete an assignment, after all.
Despite this, universities refuse to sanction our use and the situation has consequently gotten
worse - but we want to work with universities, not against them.

Our essays not only elucidate the subject matter and demonstrate great essay style and structure;
they come packed with insightful analysis and arguments, and a list of useful references for
further reading. They are the best, most useful study aid in the world, bar none: they increase any
student's understanding of a topic, which subsequently improves their ability to write an
excellent, unique answer of their own.

We have shown repeatedly that students who use our service develop a stronger understanding of their
topic, and certainly do better with our help than they could have without it. The reasons for this
are obvious - namely, we have 3,500 highly qualified writers, all of whom are qualified to a
minimum of degree level (though several have advanced beyond this, all the way up to PhD study).
Many of our writers are also teachers, lecturers and industry professionals, meaning that they are
perfectly placed to give help which is focused on a very specific question. The assistance we can
provide to students in this way is raising the standards of education, not lowering them.

We pride ourselves on our ethics: as a company, we refuse to sell to cheats, and strongly encourage
proper use of our services within our guarantees. We are a far cry from the businesses - located
worldwide in locations as diverse as India, Pakistan, Ukraine and the USA, amongst others - who
actively encourage cheating. Our comprehensive Fair Use Policy - which is displayed prominently
across our website - clearly outlines that handing in someone else's work as your own is
unacceptable, and explains the serious consequences which may result from doing so.

Simply put, there are two types of company in our industry: those who promote cheating and do not
value academic integrity, which are largely based overseas; and companies like us, who actively try
to prevent students from doing this (most of whom are based in the UK, following our lead). How,
then, can we ensure that the actions of the former companies are separated from the legitimate
activities of the latter companies?

Demand for services like these would likely remain constant, regardless of legislation. The more
pertinent question to ask is: how can we minimise the potential harm of this demand? Our solution
is regulation, and has been for some time.

The only viable answer is to regulate the industry to enhance control over it and mitigate potential
harm - in doing this, we can gain influence over something, rather than lose it altogether.
Suggestions for appropriate ways to do this include making students declare usage of services like
ours, and ensuring that operators keep a register of users. While the demand for these services
won't go away, implementing this means we could begin to control that use. All that this proposed
legislation can achieve is to push demand overseas - even further out of the government's sphere of
influence. This would make the already-difficult task of policing the industry almost impossible,
only resulting in a total lack of control.

This approach gives the many honest students - who correctly and ethically utilise our service - no
safe, legitimate way to use it. We want to make it 100% clear that we do not condone cheating:
indeed, we turn away students who have misused our services and committed academic misconduct, and
refuse service altogether if a prospective client implies that they intend to use our service in
this way.

To reiterate: our primary goal is to help our customers get the most out of their university
education. To ensure that this goal is achieved, we want nothing more than to take steps which
would culminate in a properly regulated industry; we want to work with universities; and, more than
anything, we want to continue helping students to achieve the best grades possible in an ethical
way.

Best Regards,

Daniel Dennehy,

All Answers' response to the calls to ban essay writing firms

The news that University bosses are looking to have 'essay mills' banned is not a revelation which greatly perturbs us at All Answers Ltd, for the simple reason that we do not believe this term, or its negative connotations, are applicable to what we do. Universities are looking for a solution to the problem of academic misconduct - and we understand and fully support this endeavour - but in our opinion, a blanket legislative ban is unlikely to achieve the ends they are seeking to achieve.

There are two types of company in our industry: those who promote cheating and couldn't care less about academic integrity, which are largely based overseas; and those like us, who are active in preserving academic integrity, educating our clients about plagiarism and combatting the issue of cheating. Make no mistake – students who contact us with the vaguest allusion to using our service dishonestly are reprimanded and even denied service. We, as a legitimate UK company, refuse to sell to cheats. We are a far cry from those businesses in India, Pakistan, the Ukraine, the USA and so on who actively encourage cheating, and we wish to differentiate ourselves from this category of company in the strongest possible sense.

Some have queried our service's extreme flexibility in terms of customers being able to select specific grades. There is nothing nefarious about this: it is simply the case that many students may not feel confident of their ability to differentiate between different grade boundaries. Offering a range of grades has two purposes: to tailor the study aid to the specific individual's level of understanding; and to help students aspiring to achieve higher grades to understand the specific components of their academic work that they will need to improve upon to meet their stretch goals. In today's ultra-competitive jobs market, and with universities' resources becoming more and more limited all the time, it is logical that students want all the support they can get in standing out from the crowd and achieving their optimum academic performance. In a similar vein, our plagiarism-free guarantee is not in any way intended to promote academic misconduct. We offer this purely because each individual is receiving a bespoke support service from us, and no one student is the same as the next. A face-to-face tutor would tailor their support to an individual student; all we are doing is offering the same courtesy remotely.

Our services are, when used correctly, no different to using the services of a tutor, discussing work with classmates or using published academic resources as a point of reference. The services we provide aim to be the best, most useful study aids in the world - bar none. Our goal is to increase any student's understanding of a topic, as well as their academic writing skills which, all too often, universities offer little guidance about. Students flock to our gentlereformation.org site not only to purchase tailored help, but to review the numerous help guides and academic resources we provide free of charge. We provide a wealth of content without charge because we are truly committed to helping students learn. Indeed, we have recently launched entirely free 'modules' for popular courses to help students learn the basics or get a feel for a course without having to spend hundreds of pounds on specialist textbooks.

In our opinion, the most relevant question to ask is: would legislation prohibiting this industry actually have the desired impact? After all, most of the companies in this industry are not UK companies; indeed, very few are UK-based and registered. Such companies will therefore continue to work as they always have. Looking to make the service illegal will simply put the demand for these services underground, and if this happens, then an invaluable opportunity to gain control over the industry will have been lost. Universities have repeatedly refused to sanction our use or enter into discussions with us about how to manage the situation, and as a result, the situation has gotten worse. Regardless, we genuinely wish to work with universities and not against them.

So how do we minimise the potential damage of this demand when the demand is constant? Our answer is, and has been for some time, to regulate the industry. Regulation allows us to enhance control over a potential problem and mitigate any harm it could cause; it allows us to gain influence over something, rather than lose it. The demand for such services will not go away, so the argument for taking control rather than driving this demand into the darkness appears to us to be the only sensible answer. We therefore suggest that institutions make students declare usage of services like ours; in turn, operators like us would keep a register of users. This kind of transparency would ensure that the many honest students who use services like ours to enrich their learning have a safe, legitimate and regulated way to use it.

Any talk of proposed legislation will only push demand overseas and further out of any sphere of influence, making what is already a difficult-to-police industry almost impossible to control. We sincerely hope to be able to enter into a discussion about this with the relevant bodies to ensure an outcome which balances the value of individual support in learning and the need to preserve academic integrity.
